WELCOME TO THE ANCIENT HOUSE: WHERE HISTORY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP INTERTWINE

Nestled in the heart of Hoi An’s old quarter at 104 Thai Phien, Quang Nam, stands The Ancient House—a 250-year-old architectural gem that has gracefully withstood the test of time. We invite you to step into this historic space, free of charge, where you can experience a slice of Vietnam’s rich cultural past while exploring our exclusive Argenté Jewelry collection.

A Glimpse Into Hoi An’s Heritage

Hoi An is renowned for its colorful lanterns, centuries-old houses, and the peaceful Thu Bon River meandering through the Ancient Town. Our store, The Ancient House, fits seamlessly into this storied setting.

  • Preserved History: Having stood for over two centuries, the house reflects the traditional design elements of Hoi An’s merchant residences. From its carved wooden beams to its intricate courtyard layout, every corner tells a tale of daily life and cultural exchange dating back to the 18th century.
  • Authentic Atmosphere: As you wander through the house, you’ll notice the original timber framework and clay-tiled roof. These architectural details remain largely untouched, transporting you back in time to an era when Hoi An was a bustling trading port.
